If the Enterprise was thrown around 1000 light years away, and they returned at around warp factor 8, surely the journey would still have taken them around 100 years? PatGallacher ( talk) 20:23, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
Ok, I misunderstood warp factor, but it would still take them around 16 years. PatGallacher ( talk) 01:18, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
I had this same question (should have taken two years). But then Scotty says that it "feels wrong". The issue is also noted (but no solution offerred) here: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/That_Which_Survives_(episode)
"At warp 8.4 traveling 990.7 light years would take 1.67 years, not 11.33 hours (which would equate to 766,486c or warp 91.5)."
Here, https://www.tor.com/2016/08/31/star-trek-the-original-series-rewatch-that-which-survives/ , ChristopherLBennett points out that at this speed "Voyager should’ve been able to cover 70,000 ly in a bit over five weeks."

Scott did mention it would take a long time. For part of the trip they were over warp 14. What does that do to the time for the trip? 2600:8807:5400:28F0:D56:83F3:7C70:DBAC ( talk) 08:53, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
